cannot update table

I have an msde database connected to a microsoft project front end.
I am trying to update a table with values. When I use a stored procedure
everything works fine but when I try and edit the table directly I am warned
that the 'the recordset is not updatable'
Is this 'by design'? or are there permission issues?
I am logged into the database as a user almx who has database creation
rights.
I tried logging into the database as sa but I it makes no difference.
Are there any specific permissions I need to set to allow users to update
the table values directly or is this not possible in a MS Access Project?

Access won't allow you to update records unless there's a primary key
or unique index defined on the tables.
